Kathrikai Podi Curry | Kathirikai Podi Curry Recipe

The Kathirikai Podi Curry that I have tasted is mostly dry but this variation of the recipe was quite attractive when I first saw it. I apologize to all those brinjal haters out there for posting so many brinjal recipes but these are quick and easy and one of the vegetables that are available at all times for me. Also, I love brinjals :D

Please note: Generally Kathirikai Podi Curry is made with small violet brinjal that's slit and the masala filled inside. In the recipe mentioned below, I have used the purple, long brinjal and added the spices along with the gravy to make a side-dish for roti or chapati for dinner.

Podi Curry is a traditional Tamil Brahmin Recipe except that I made a slight twist in it and added pureed onions. You can omit that and you will get a dry fry dish. I wanted something that was slightly soft and not fried.
